IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with Sephora's terms of use, items cannot be listed "for sale" or even for trade for Sephora or other gift cards. Please do not list "prices" either (which implies selling), but you can list approximate trade value.

Because a number of fake items have been sent in trades, it is strongly advised you provide photos of your higher-end items, including the labeling (you may be asked for it anyway) and list WHERE you purchased the item from. Fakes are readily available from less reputable sellers and can contain toxins! It is important to everyone to know where their cosmetics come from.

Please also be aware that some makeup products cannot be sanitized - please use caution in your trades. When in doubt, ask the community, it's a great resource! Used items you may wish to avoid are mascara, liquid eyeliner, lip glosses, and cream products.

CommunicationPlease use the private message system on Beauty Talk and/or tag the user you are trying to get in touch with. Communication is key! You can tell a lot about a trade by how the communication goes. If you will be unavailable for any periods of time, please be up front, and if there are any issues with shipping please be up front about that as well.

DeliveryHaving tracking and insurance on shipments goes a long way to figuring out where an item might be. The USPS puts anticipated delivery dates and tracking numbers right on the receipt. If there is any issue with an item you have sent out, please follow up with the carrier.

RE: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

my boxycharm came today! I'm thrilled I got the powder highlighters that's what I really wanted!!! Not thrilled with the color Lippie I received because it's too nude/light for me (color was salty) but I'm really happy with the rest of the products so that's ok. I like the eyeshadow crayon it's very pretty

I'm anxiously awaiting my first box! It says I won't get...

I'm anxiously awaiting my first box! It says I won't get it until Friday but I keep checking the tracking hoping something changed. lol. Anyway, I really hope I get this one! Thanks for sharing @Kim888

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I have to say that I'm not thrilled about getting ANOTHER black eyeliner, but at least this is a new one to me. I'll be gifting the lip balm to my niece, but everything else is great! And the bag itself is one of the better ones I've gotten.

Re: Subscription Central (Spoilers, Unboxings, and More)

I love Tony Moly too @ZombieMetroAnt! All of their fruit hand creams smell just like the fruit, including this one. They also absorb quickly and moisturize well. The full-sized ones come in adorable fruit shaped containers. If you buy one, I recommend checking Amazon first; I find they have better prices on Tony Moly than most.

The macaron looking thing is lip balm--CuteBalms Macaroon Lip Balm in vanilla. It's mostly made of waxes, so I'm not going to bother with it. My 11-year-old niece will love it, though!
